Zhang Yanping and Yang Nansheng: The pure and great year-old love between Xinhua News Agency reporters and returned generals

"One is a fledgling, naïve little journalist,

One is the wise man who is sunny, rich, full of the world, and noble in heart,

Two purest hearts, just because of love, came together,

It's like two innocent children. ”

Whether it is identity status or age experience, the two people, who are very different, are actually in the vast sea of people, from encounter, acquaintance, acquaintance to mutual observance, the purest love story between Zhang Yanping and Yang Nansheng has touched countless people.

01

Zhang Yanping was born in Yimeng, Shandong Province, to a military family. Perhaps because of premature birth, people are introverted, obsessed with fantasies, and their perceptual thinking is particularly developed.

In 1982, Zhang Yanping graduated from the Chinese Department of Shandong University and was assigned to xinhua as a journalist at that time.

Yang Nansheng, who served at the Southwest United University in his early years, later went abroad for further study at public expense and obtained a doctorate from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. In 1950, Yang Nansheng returned from his studies and dedicated his life's learning to the aerospace industry he loved all his life.

He treated people kindly and humorously throughout his life, in addition to his career, he loved music and literature, although he was in the age of Hua Jia, he made people feel a heart that never aged.

Two seemingly completely different life trajectories, but under the circumstances of karma, they met each other, and even collided with the spark of love.

In the book "Junsheng I Am Not Born", Zhang Yanping recounted the scene of the first encounter between her and Yang Nansheng.

"When he learned that I was a reporter, he showed a amused look like an adult watching a child's trick, pretending to be respectful, but actually lengthening his voice a little playfully and saying: 'Oh, it was comrade journalists.'" ”

At this scene, intuition told Zhang Yanping that the interviewee was not very cooperative.

As it is, Yang Nansheng did not take Zhang Yanping's interview seriously at all, and always looked like he did not answer what he asked.

In the end, Yang Nansheng was anti-guest-oriented, and from time to time threw several questions to Zhang Yanping that had nothing to do with the interview:

"What did you '80s youth care about most?"

"What kind of music do you like to listen to?"

"What are the aspirations of the youth of the 80s for the future?"

……

These questions opened Zhang Yanping's heart like a flood of beasts, and she spoke very seriously to Yang Nansheng about the poetry and literature that emerged in that particular era.

At the end of the two-hour interview, Zhang Yanping did not get any material useful for the manuscript, but he was full of happiness, but he was deeply attracted by Yang Nansheng's invisible aura.

It was truly an adventure like no other.

For Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping, perhaps this is just an ordinary interview, an ordinary conversation, and there will be no more intersection.

However, fate is destined to play cards according to common sense, and after the first encounter, the two people actually meet again unexpectedly.

During the meal at the station's restaurant, Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping actually met again, and the humorous Yang Nansheng stood with both hands and said: "Comrade reporter is going to interview again!" ”

Next, the two men walked along, talking as they walked.

Yang Nansheng talked about his favorite musicians Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart, as well as his favorite foreign poets, writers and novels.

With the increase in the number of opportunities to meet, the two people chatted more and more energetically, and Zhang Yanping saw his frankness and transparency.

As the chat deepened, Yang Nansheng talked to Zhang Yanping about his former first love, his family, and his deceased wife.

Yang Nansheng spoke unusually calmly, plainly, and truthfully, while Zhang Yanping saw more and more clearly "a person as pure as the blue sky."

There's a saying that goes, "When luck strikes, you often don't know anything." ”

For Zhang Yanping, emotionally she is a person who was late in enlightenment, and once had a crush on a boy when she went to the countryside, but she has not yet reached the step of confession, and she is married to Convenience.

This experience of attempted love did not leave her any waves, which can be said to be innocuous.

However, in the spring of 1984, her love bird unexpectedly came to her heart.

Just as she was self-absorbedly reciting Shu Ting's poems, she suddenly found that Yang Nansheng's bright eyes had been watching her affectionately.

Just as the two of them were walking outside the station, Yang Nansheng bought two popsicles and stuffed them into her hands and said, "You eat one, and then eat another for me." ”

Love came silently and unexpectedly, and everything made each other chaotic.

In the end, the interview period is over, Yang Nansheng will fly back to Shaanxi in the great northwest, and Zhang Yanping will return to his busy interview work.

Since the airport parted, letters have been the only way for them to communicate.

In the book, Zhang Yanping said, "In those days when we were on opposite sides, writing letters, reading letters, and waiting for letters was a moment of great happiness and light sadness in our lives. ”

Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping relied on letters to write about the infinite love and full of longing in their hearts. As the letters were opened one by one, the understanding between each other deepened, and the love became stronger.

However, in the world of love, in addition to tenderness and sweetness, there will also be wild storms. The huge gap between Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping is the age gap between the two people.

Because of the huge age difference between the two people, the biggest opposition came from Zhang Yanping's parents. For the sake of their daughter's life, the parents of the military have released harsh words, either forgetting him or not returning to this home.

However, for Zhang Yanping, who is deeply in love, how much she loves her Nannan, she made her own choice.

On June 2, 1986, Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping, who broke through all kinds of worldly restrictions, married happily and married as they wished.

The wedding ceremony was in Yang Nansheng's hut in Shaanxi's "four walls of family disciples", there was no banquet, no ceremony, some were just a few friends brought from home to take the best dishes, and bright red roses picked from the courtyard.

Despite this, in the eyes of Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping, this is the warmest wedding in the world.

For Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping, 29 years of encounter, 27 years of companionship, the two people are in love with each other, respect each other as guests.

Yang Nansheng accepted everything about Zhang Yanping with his broad mind, and Zhang Yanping, who had never cooked since childhood, bought a bunch of cooking books for Yang Nansheng and studied them carefully.

As Zhang Yanping said in his memoir "Junsheng I was not born", "Because of him, I believe that the human world is beautiful; because of him, I believe that there is nobility in this world; because of him, I understand love." He protected my full trust and belief in the world, in life and in humanity. Under his sky, I was like a little bird, humble but living freely. ”

Under the protection of Yang Nansheng, Zhang Yanping lived happily and happily, and being the most authentic and free self, she could never grow up.

However, in this world, there is a beginning and an end, which is a natural law, and no one can control the end of fate.

When Yang Nansheng died, Zhang Yanping was in great pain, and she even suffered from severe depression, and once could not walk out of the fact that there was no Yang Nansheng.

During those painful days, Zhang Yanping saw a psychiatrist, went to beautiful Tibet, cleansed his soul, and let the blood-dripping heart be placed.

She also used various opportunities to go to more places, allowing her to travel through the time tunnel to find the place where Yang Nansheng had struggled in the past, to feel his deeper spiritual world.

"Memory will be lost, but the soul will remember everything." In the days after Yang Nansheng's death, Zhang Yanping wrote 76 diaries in a few years by writing diaries and talking to his lover.

The true and pure love story between Yang Nansheng and Zhang Yanping touched the hearts of every reader.
